Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, OF Philadelphia, Is
well known to the ladies of that city from
the great good she has done by means OF
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham Of a recent in
tcresting case. "a young married lady
came to me suffering with Il severe case OF
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking tho Compound and in two months
was tuiiy restored. In proof of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evadc the responsibilities of maternity.
After ten or twelve days She came to me
again and she was indeed in a most alarm
ing state and suffered terribly. | gave her
a tablespoonful Of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,
she awoke much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking the Com
pound, and in duo season she became the
mother Of Il fine healthy boy. But for tho
timely use Of the medicine she believes her
life would have been LOST

WOULD WE U

wouli we rturn
II once the gates which close upon the past
Were opened wide for us. and II the dear
Remembered pathway stretched before us clear
To lead rs back 10 youths lost land at last,
Whereon nfc's April shadows, lightly cast,
Recalled the old sweet days Of childish fear,
With all their faded hopes and brought anear
The far-or streams in which our skies we're
glassod;
Did these lost dreams which wake the souls
sad y%earning
But live once more and waited our returning,
Would We return'
Would We return
Elove's snchantmert held the heart no more,
And we had come TO count the wild sweet pain,
The fond distress, the lavish tears-but vain;
Had cooled the hearts hot wounds amidst the
roar
or mountain gales, or, on some alien shore,
Worn out the souls long anguish and had slain
At last the dragon Of despair-it then the train
OF vanished years came back, and as Of yore'
The same voice called, and with soft eyes be-
quilting.
Our lost love beckoned, through times gray
veil smL:ng,
Would We return'
Would we return
Once We had crossed to deaths unlovely land
And trod the bloomlcss ways among the dead
Lone and unhappy; after years had fed
With twilight wings along that glimmeriuc
strand,
II then-an angel came with outstretched
hand
To lead us back. and we recalled in dread
How soon the tears that once for Us are shed
May flow for 6hers-how like words in sand
Our memory fades away-how oft our waking
Might vex the living with the dead hearts
breaking,
Would We return,-
Would we return

Another delusion very widely spread is
that 1--WE usually have very late, mild
falls, but this year the bad weather has
set in earlier than I ever knew it," l
have heard that statement from Duluth TO
the mouth of the Rio Grande. And no
matter where you are in the early spring
or late autumn, the people will tell you
that this is the worst spring or the worst
fall they have had for many years;
usually they have balmy springs and
crisp, dry autumns. but it is unusually
bad when you are there. But If you want
to hear weather talk as Is weather talk,
60 to Indiana and interview some oldish
farmer whose early life was spent in the
highlands Of Kentucky, Virginia, North
Carolina or Tennessee. Nothing will con-
vince him that they did not have Irregular
weather" where he was born; though, as
matter Of fact, no part of the United
States has more agreeable climate, take
it the year round, than the Wabash val
ley. And in no other part Of the world
has the average length of human life in
creased SO much, or the average health
improved SO much, in the last forty years.
But the old farmer swears every March
that the fruit is all killed, every May that
it is too cold to sprout the corn, every June
that the wheat is sure to be blighted,
every August that it is too hot or too cold
or too wet or too dry for the corn to ma
ture; and all the year that the climate is
not rs good as it was where he came from
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1887-11-21
